Tesla Model S gets 'ludicrous mode'

NEW YORK (AP) — Tesla Motors says it's adding a new “Ludicrous Mode” to high-performance versions of its Model S electric car.

CEO Elon Musk says the upgrade will cost $10,000 for new buyers of the Model S, whose base price is $70,000. It will allow the car to go from zero to 60 miles per hour in 2.8 seconds. Tesla had referred to a previous package as “Insane Mode.”

Musk also says Tesla will upgrade the battery pack of the Model S to improve its range.

Earlier this month Tesla said its deliveries grew 52 percent to more than 11,000 in the second quarter.
